Course Catalog Description:
History of contemporary GLBT-identified communities. Terms of theoretical debates regarding sexual orientation, identity, experience. Analyzes problems produced/insights gained by incorporating GLBT issues into specific academic, social, cultural, political discourses.
Class Description:
GLBT Studies is a rapidly growing, multidisciplinary enterprise whose goal is the study of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer peoples and their histories and cultures, as well as the study of sexuality and its role in the deployment of cultural and social power. This course offers an introduction to this vibrant field from a range of theoretical and disciplinary perspectives. It explores the role of race, class, religion, region, and nation in the construction of modern gender and sexual identities and in the lived experiences of dissident genders and sexualities. We will examine a range of issues, including histories and strategies of resistance; the role of feminism in GLBTQ Studies; transgender and transsexual theory and politics; queer of color critique; AIDS theory and politics; globalization and sexuality; the meanings of new GLBTQ visibility; and recent conceptualizations of homonormativity.
